Morning, wondering if anyone can clear this up for me, with a tourist visa how many re-entries and extensions can you do before you’re denied re-entry into the country. I thought you were only allowed to do this 3 times per year but I’ve also heard that you can come in and out for an entire year before been denied entry 🤷🏻

Any insight will be appreciated, thanks in advance 💚

TLDR : Answer Summary

The number of re-entries and extensions on a Thai tourist visa can vary, and there is no strict limit for air entries. While it's often stated that there are no rules for how many times you can enter by air, land entries using a visa exemption are limited to twice per calendar year. Ultimately, the decision rests with the immigration officer at the point of entry, who may question the legitimacy of your tourist status if there are multiple entries.

No written rules other than two times of visa-exempt entry by land or sea per calendar year. But if you are approved to enter Thailand on tourist status will be at the discretion of the officer that handles your entry. So you can enter Thailand as a tourist until the officer gets doubts you are a genuine tourist. be preprared.

Nobody can say, there are no official restrictions by air. But it all comes down to the immigration officer checking your passport on the day

Perhaps your question should be, is there an annual limit to the number of tourist visas that can be applied for

2 times to enter Thailand on visa-exempt by land or sea per calendar year. IF you already start the application, you need to do it all over from the start again if you leave and re-enter. Talk with your school.
